It's funny you mention it Steve because I've been to your website several times looking for carbon parts for this car. I put your scte carbon tower's thru hell and back for years and never had a problem. SNR make's the best carbon parts IMO.

Thanks for buying my products. Yes I made all that carbon parts for the car
and we use a DM-1 center and motor mount.

Shoot, I just had to order a gt2 corvett body to hold me over until your selling these because I had to cut my wheel wells hella big to fit the xo-1 tires and now I'm switching to grp's so it would look silly with the smaller dia tires.

Any idea on a price range for these bodies? When you say liveries will that be in the form of sticker kit or pre painted?

I think they are clear and w/stickers.
Skyline was a clear body on the last page.

Regardless im interested. I have a couple Corvettes for my SnR Converted GTP2e, but would love something different.

Scooby61, yes its a Kyosho DBR9 body.

Jstall, Yes, I think its 1/16th. Pretty light and cf vinyl to finish it. The Kyosho DBR9 body fit perfect. Bumper foam even touches the body and body is snug with the splitter.

Marcus, I sent you a parts list for a quote that has a rear bumper. You could mod that one (I'd want one similar to the Audi splitter that has the lower sheet covering the vertical channels).

They will be in the 65 range, I will probably do some sort of pre-order 50% shipping or something like that. I will figure it out next week.

OK, what body will it be for? the audi difuser is too small for the vette and vice versa.

+ YouTube Video

The key to running fast & straight with the Warrior body is trimming off the rear spoiler’s center section, while leaving the uprights is ingenious. Just check out Johnracerx’s example shown in this video.

Any top speed runner looking for maximum aerodynamic efficiency should seriously consider doing the same to their Warrior GT bodies too.

Keep on running hard my friends!

I am subscribed to john, he's fast as hell and I'm a newb to speed runs. I just wanted to see how the car drove with a stock warrior body, I didn't have time to glass it. The body is fine with the wing on for 100mph and I might run it on the track soon so I just did a quick run. I'm having a harder time finding tires that will hold up (GRP'S just came in) and I need the perfect location. I've never drove a rc this fast, it's so intense and scary for me... anyway now I got grp's and the warrior body is cut for xo-1 wheels and tires so I ordered a kyosho clear gt2 corvette body for the next run.


That warrior body is bad @$$! I'll order another one very soon! I think I know who you are by the way and thanks for your advise!

You have plans to sell a chassis like that? Or like stock?
